    Does Titan's Hydrocarbon Soup Hold A Recipe for Life? NASA researchers have confirmed the existence in Titan's atmosphere of vinyl cyanide, which is an organic compound that could potentially provide the cellular membranes for microbial life to form in Titan's vast methane oceans. If true, it...

    The contrast and approach to their ecosystems is interesting (to me, anyways). Sony pushes away their prior generation to move forward while MS enhances and increases the availability of their back catalog w/ One X and Game Pass (and the stated intention that this is the status quo for the...

    What are your Top 10 games on Steam by Playtime?

    None of this is remotely in my wheelhouse, but I'd totally lurk a thread related to developing this kind of stuff. Only relevant thing I'd want to do is learn how to make interiors in GTA for some of the RP I watch, but anything I'd want to make has probably been done already :p

    That's good to hear, I think. Just got mine earlier this week, not sure if it'll make it to the table this weekend. Really like the quality of the boards.

    Dayum. Samsung crams 30TB of SSD into a single 2.5-inch drive There's no information on price or availability just yet. Samsung says that it started making the drives in January and that it will follow the 30TB unit with 15.36TB, 7.68TB, 3.84TB, 1.92TB, 960GB, and 800GB versions.

    Yeah, ditto w/ WoW and EQ. Rocket League 506 hrs - I suck but could play a game or two at any moment, get bored, quit, try and play something else and end up back in it 'just for a game or two' with GTA RP up on the other monitor. Rinse and repeat all night, gaming ADD sucks. Grim Dawn 242...

    Latest Windows Insider build is fun on my system. I can't seem to boot, just repeats post over and over, unless I boot to a recovery USB and then exit it and start Windows and then it starts fine. I'll have to try the win10 equivalent of fdisk /mbr or something and then roll back to a prior...

    It'll be forgettable until they actually show Venom, and then it will live/die on how well they render it. This audio of this trailer could be re-dubbed into a Bane origin with how generic it felt.

    So maybe that's a good followup then, are there mods we should use for our first playthrough, vs going into it 100% stock? Looking forward to starting tomorrow. I've only played as far as the thug in the initial city (where I found my guys don't come back to life after a 'successful' fight...

    Just no interest in HATE for my group, the bulk of the time we play co-op. Dark Souls has me pretty burnt out out on the higher $ Kickstarters. Nobody really liked it and I've got another $150 in expansions being shipped to me whenever. That is probably why I ended up balking at Nemesis...

    Twitter speculation that Jupiter could eventually eject the Tesla from the solar system, interstellar space junk! After a few thousand years the orbit gets really eccentric (less and less like a circle). I need orbital images to really make sense of some of this stuff though. It certainly...

    That's true of pretty much this whole flight really. This was spectacular as a test. Losing the core is a bummer, but I'm so glad it didn't implode on launch and they got zero flight data.
